Re: Sentence in COGA Note

I too like shifting from creator to creation. However, this now implies that the impact is to the content itself versus the impact being on the user. It also uses the word content several times.

I do see how you’ve shifted the lens with the verbiage. The new wording is less abrasive. I wouldn’t oppose the change.

Hi all

on the call today there was quite a lively discussion around this sentence.

CURRENT
"People with cognitive and learning disabilities may not be able to effectively use web content because of the design and content choices of the author."

I've gone back and tried to capture the essence of Lisa's rationale, while steering the focus to the design/content and rather than the author. I also used John Avila's word "impact" rather than "because".

SUGGESTED
Design and content choices can impact the content in ways that make it difficult or impossible for some users with cognitive and learning disabilities to use this content.

Cheers,
David MacDonald
